High Early Strength Cement lends itself to applications where rapid strength development is desired, for example, when formwork is to be removed early or where sufficient strength for further construction is required quickly. Heat rise and rate of heat evolution may be greater than for general purpose cements. Therefore, caution should be taken when specifying High Early Strength Cement for use in large structural sections or in mass construction. The use of this cement in cold weather may prove beneficial.
